Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

More and all electric aircraft technology offers many potential benefits, such as high fuel efficiency, high reliability, low carbon and NOx emission, low noise, and ease of maintainability, which has brought about a technological revolution in the aviation industry. The electrical machine system is the core component of electromechanical energy conversion, which has been widely applied in flight control, starter generator systems, and electric propulsion systems, among others. To guarantee flight safety, the electrical machine system must meet stringent requirements for reliability, power density, and efficiency. This Special Issue aims to publish the most recent advancements along this path.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • High reliability electrical machine design theory
  • High reliability electrical machine topology
  • Multi-physics analysis and multi-objective optimization
  • Thermal management
  • Fault tolerant control
  • Advanced control
  • Fault diagnosis
  • Sensorless control
  • Integration technology of electrical machines and power electronics

This paper presents a filterless sensorless control scheme with an optimized time sequence based on high-frequency (HF) square-wave voltage injection for a five-phase interior permanent magnet machine (IPMSM) drive. To avoid the utilization of low-pass filters (LPFs) in signal processing, an effective method without filters is proposed in this paper. Moreover, the cross-coupling magnetic saturation is analyzed and the online position error compensation is applied based on the offline measurements and finite-element analysis (FEA). Besides, compared with the conventional time sequence of senseorless control, the proposed optimized time sequence can eliminate the additional position estimation error caused by the time delay in digital implementation. Numerical simulations and experiments with a 2-kW five-phase IPMSM are carried out. The results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed sensorless control scheme with an optimized time sequence adopted by the IPMSM drives. Full article

Stepping motors are highly preferred in spacecraft applications because of their simple structure, convenient control and lack of accumulated error. In satellite antenna drive systems, reliability and fault tolerance have been paid more and more attention. Accordingly, to enhance the reliability of the electrical system in the field of aerospace, the redundancy technology, which can effectively improve the system reliability while reducing the requirements of components, was applied in the design of hybrid stepping motors (HSM), a dual-redundancy two-phase HSM which has two sets of stator windings was designed in this paper. The mathematical model of stepping motor and the specific structure parameters of the motor are given. The torque-frequency characteristic was regarded as the key to measure the performance of the motor proposed in this paper. The results of 3-D finite element modeling are presented. The corresponding performance experiment on the designed motor was carried out and both the simulation results and the experimental results verified the validity and superiority of the dual redundancy HSM.
